Nebraska doesn't have any huge, attention grabbing participation numbers...just about 17% of the campus is greek.
However, I think we are one of the strongest Greek systems in the country based on the excellence of most chapters.
This past summer the Nebraska Chapters of Gamma Phi Beta, Chi Omega, Alpha Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Nu, and Acacia all received their organization's highest award possible for a chapter. I also know that the chapters of Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Tau Delta are pretty highly decorated chapters among their international organizations, but I'm unsure of the awards they have received.
Having such high achievement by so many groups really raises the bar for what is being done by the entire greek community.
Such awards may not make Nebraska the best campus for Greeks, and there seems to be a vendetta against Greeks by the campus newspaper, despite the fact that I've met very few non-greek students who are opposed to the greek system.
